Sugarj 01-22-2010, 11:29 AM George Foreman. I watched his last fight against Briggs and thought the result in Brigg's favour was a mockery of justice.
Chris Eubank didn't take a beating and boxed very well against Carl Thompson in his last two fights. Eye injuires being the major factor.
Hagler would qualify I think, you couldn't say that Leonard gave him a beating whatever your view.
Also I would say Michael Spinks, the Tyson KO was quick and clinical but not a beating like he inflicted on say Ruddock.
Sugarj 01-22-2010, 12:20 PM I was going to say Hagler but couldn't have imagined that no one had said it yet!
Jack Dempsey: He lost a couple to Tunney but neither fight was a beating.

Think he was a bit fortunate that Tunney didn't have a whole lot of power at HW though, he did get well beat.
